Plants— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be concise and accurate: correct word choice (patience, not patients), avoid repetition, and use one clear reason with a linking word. Limit to 2–4 sentences and include a topic sentence then a brief supporting detail with a specific example.

예시: Yes, I keep several houseplants. They improve air quality and make the apartment feel more relaxing, for example my spider plant helps reduce dust and looks cheerful on the windowsill.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the plant, then give a specific reason and a brief result. Avoid grammatical errors (use past tense consistently) and unnecessary filler. Use linking words like 'because' or 'but' to connect ideas.

예시: When I was young I grew roses. I chose them because they were so beautiful, but they often died quickly because I didn't know how to care for them.

제안: Answer directly with a topic sentence, then give specific details and correct grammar. Replace vague phrases with concrete information (e.g. what you couldn't do) and use linking words ('because', 'so') to show cause and effect. Keep it under five sentences.

예시: Not much, unfortunately. I usually failed because I didn't water them regularly or understand sunlight needs, so most plants died within three months.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence, then add a specific cultural example and one explanation. Fix grammar and word order ('a bunch of roses' or 'a bouquet of flowers', 'imply many meanings' → 'convey many meanings'). Use linking words to connect the example and reason.

예시: Yes. People often give flowers or potted plants during festivals like Chinese New Year; for example, families might exchange a bouquet of flowers to express love and good wishes because plants symbolize life and prosperity.

× Keeping plants is a good way to keep a healthy environment of my home.

✓ Keeping plants is a good way to maintain a healthy home environment.

The original sentence uses 'keep a healthy environment of my home' which is awkward and unidiomatic. Use 'maintain' for ongoing state (present tense) and the noun phrase 'home environment' is more natural. Also word order adjusted for clarity.

× Also it's a good way to cultivate my patients.

✓ Also it's a good way to cultivate my patience.

The word 'patients' (people receiving medical care) is incorrect here. The intended word is 'patience' (the quality). This is an incorrect word choice (adjective/noun confusion). Replace with 'patience' to convey the intended meaning.

× As long as I can take care of the plants, I can take care of myself at the same.

✓ As long as I can take care of the plants, I can take care of myself as well.

The phrase 'at the same' is ungrammatical in this context. Use 'as well' to express also in present-tense statements. The structure is present simple and matches the conditional meaning.

× I have brought a lot of plants when I was young and one of the most impressive 1 was the Rose since they were very beautiful so I asked my mother to buy it for me but they didn't keep for a long time.

✓ I had many plants when I was young; one of the most impressive was a rose because it was very beautiful, so I asked my mother to buy it for me, but it didn't last long.

Multiple issues: 'have brought' is incorrect use of present perfect with a past time phrase 'when I was young' — use past simple or past perfect ('had'). Number agreement: 'rose' is singular, so use 'it' not 'they'. 'Keep for a long time' is awkward; use 'last long' for plant longevity. Sentence split and punctuation improve clarity.

× Actually not.

✓ Actually, no.

While short answers are acceptable, 'Actually not' is unnatural. Use 'Actually, no' to negate in present context.

× I didn't know much knowledge about growing up town, so I always failed to keep a plan for a long time, such as those to live and other plants.

✓ I didn't have much knowledge about growing plants, so I always failed to keep them alive for a long time.

The original has multiple errors: 'know much knowledge' is redundant — use 'have much knowledge' or better 'didn't know much about'. 'growing up town' is nonsensical; likely 'growing plants'. 'keep a plan' is wrong; context requires 'keep them alive'. Simplify and correct prepositions and noun choices.

× Each of them haven't lasted for more than three months.

✓ Each of them hasn't lasted more than three months.

With 'each of them' the verb should be singular: 'hasn't' not 'haven't'. Also 'for' before a time span is optional; 'lasted more than three months' is more natural.

× Yes, of course, especially on some special festivals and then would prepare a bottle of roses or other kind of flowers to their loved one to show their love.

✓ Yes, of course. Especially during certain festivals, people prepare a bouquet of roses or other flowers for their loved ones to show affection.

Problems: missing subject 'people' before 'would prepare'; 'on some special festivals' should be 'during certain festivals'; 'a bottle of roses' is incorrect — use 'a bouquet of roses'; 'other kind of flowers' should be 'other flowers'; 'their loved one' should agree in number with 'people' -> 'their loved ones'. Rewriting fixes pronoun agreement and sentence structure.

× And I think these plants can seem can imply many meaning.

✓ I think these plants can imply many meanings.

Redundant 'can seem can' should be removed; use single modal 'can'. 'many meaning' requires plural 'meanings'. The sentence is simplified and corrected for idiomatic expression.
